I think we kind of are getting to that place.

Well, the irony with college sports has become that the way to close the gap on the heavyweights is with NIL, which is sort of the opposite of why baseball has the Dodgers so hated, because they spend more than everybody else.

The sneaky fact with Lane Kiffin and Kurt Cignetti and otherwise is they've closed the gap.

By the way, Kurt Cignetti, a good name to add to your list of coaches who win without stumbling.

But they both kind of are able to add stars that they wouldn't have been able to get a decade ago because of the NIL age.

A few weeks ago here on Football America, we asked if we're watching right now the GOATs in the four major sports.

Last Friday, right after we wrapped up episode number 17, in which we debated which number 17 is ultimately better, Josh Allen or Phil Rivers, number 17, Shohei Itani, number 17, had maybe the greatest postseason game in baseball history.

It's a football show, but we do like the other sports as well.

And so we honor the greatest MLB-er of all time.

It is clearly Otani now.

And we may also be guilty of turning our nose up or getting distracted by other pro football players.

We are looking at arguably the greatest quarterback, at least in pro football history.

I hesitate to say Mahomes is the best

football player ever.

I don't know.

Mahomes vs. Lawrence Taylor is on par with comparing Patrick Waugh and Mario Lemieux.

They're both French Canadians who know how to skate, but that's about the extent of it.

Anywho, best ever in football.

Goats!

Even if you don't think Mahomes is the greatest QB ever, we can now all agree he's still good.
